I remember 3rd grade. It was one of the few years I enjoyed in school. I loved multiplication and would do worksheet after worksheet, asking my teacher for another when I finished and was bored.
Homeschool 3rd grade is pretty laid back. I felt like I was almost getting the hang of homeschool by year 3 and then when my younger kids were doing 3rd grade, I was like a pro.
I highly recommend the books by Louise Bates Ames. A good guide to follow is What Your Third Grader Needs to Know: Fundamentals of a Good Third-Grade Education by E.D. Hirsch, Jr.
My eldest in 3rd grade:
We had just moved to Hawaii.
We joined a history co-op.

- Singapore Math 3
- Prima Latina
My daughter tried school on Hickam AFB. It lasted one month.
We took a tour of Pearl Harbor Memorials.
My middle girls in 3rd grade:
- Tapestry of Grace
- Life of Fred
- Singapore Math 3

- Apologia Chemistry and Physics
- Prima Latina
My son in 3rd grade:

Third grade is an exciting time and I want to make sure my kids have fun, play lots outside, and love learning.
